Theodore could see how scared Becky was he was busy observing her facial expression. "Wait." Theodore ordered and the guard stopped. "Please sir, I promise I didn't do it." Becky begged again. Theodore dialed Derrick's number. "If you're calling about Karina's stolen money, I haven't cracked it yet." Derrick said. "I've got another job for you and I need a reply within five minutes else I'll torture her." Theodore said."Torture who?" Derrick asked confused. "The maid who's picture you sent earlier." "Oh, what do you want me to find?" He asked. "Check every single detail about her. Especially if any money was wired to her account. Or anyone close to her." Theodore said. "On it." Derrick replied.After a while Derrick called back. "Well there's no such thing, and she lives with her mother and... Oh she has a daughter as well. No money was wired in her account or her mother's so... I don't think she's the one you're looking for." Derrick said and Theodore sighed. "Talk to you
Dalia began thinking of the past. She was once the other woman in Robert's life and now she was in Kendra's place. Kendra must have hated her to a fault even in her next life she wouldn't be surprised if Kendra would be her nemesis and take everything good away from her. She stole Robert from her and even had a child for him. Now she knew how Kendra felt all those years and maybe Kendra felt a lot worse, d"Mom." Albert called out. "Albert?" Dalia called out trying hard to hold back her tears but she couldn't. Albert hugged her and she sobbed in his arms. All these made Albert want revenge on Robert regardless of the fact that he was his father. ****The next day. Helen finally called Theodore. "Nanny how is she?" Theodore asked. He was just waking up from his sleep. She slept late due to the situation with Becky but Helen's call woke him. "She's awake now." "I'm on my way nanny." Theodore said rushing into the bathroom. Karina was all he had left. He couldn't protect his
Theodore arrived at the company's building with Janelle. Janelle being a high official at the company was bowed at by the workers. And she just acknowledged them with a nod. Most people think Charles would give the company to Janelle. Because he was fond of her. But seeing Janelle with a handsome young man that looked familiar left them curious about who he was. Janelle arrived at the last floor of the building. And walked past Charles' office. "This is your father's office and this is your office." Janelle said. "Oh..." Theodore was actually surprised he had an office of his own already. "If there's anything you don't like you can let me know so I'd make the changes." Janelle said."I will." Theodore replied although he doesn't really see anything he doesn't like.Everything was to his preference actually. To which he was surprised Charles knew so much about him even though they met a few days ago barely a week. It was almost like someone that knew him well told Charles about
Theodore's car was waiting outside the hospital for Karina who would be discharged. Karina was a bit upset when Theodore said he would send his car to pick her up. She thought he would come in person. He even asked Helen to leave her now she has to leave the hospital alone without both of them. Theodore's guards opened the door for her and Karina was surprised to see Theodore seating in the car. "Brother." She called out hugging him."Hey you." Theodore smiled. "Did I surprise you?" He asked. "Yeah. I... Thought..." "I had to make sure my beautiful baby sister arrived home safely." Theodore said pecking her forehead. "Let's go." Theodore ordered and they drove towards the house Theodore bought for Karina. "Theodore why don't you take me home... I mean to dad's house." Karina chipped in."You're not staying there Karina, besides I warned you about staying there for long. And hey if you try to argue I'll keep you confined." Theodore said sternly and Karina gave up. She knows
The next day Theodore woke up pretty early. He had been learning about the company and had progress a lot faster than his father expected. Today he would be introduced as Charles heir, well unlike his birthday party where he was ditched he was pretty sure this time he would be the one to take Charles place. But he was a bit nervous, wouldn't people look at him like an illegitimate son? Wouldn't they say he wasn't fit to be the public eye everyone was expecting to see. Or he isn't fit to represent the company?"Penny for your thoughts?" Charles asked."Good morning father." Theodore said with a smile."Morning son, are you nervous?" Charles asked. "Yeah, I mean what if they don't accept me?" Theodore asked. "Is that what concerns you?" Charles asked. "Yes, I mean with my identity people might just look down on me." Theodore said. "No one on earth has the right to look down on a Wyatt, don't worry. You'll do great." Charles said with a confident smile. "As a matter of fact you do
Janelle began eating her lunch while Frank just played with his food. He was feeling a bit guilty about all he had been doing behind Janelle's back and he felt it wasn't right. "Frank, is everything okay?" Janelle asked noticing his frown and change of expression. "Yes. Just work related issues." Frank lied. "You can tell me if you're having a hard time, I can put in a good word with my boss..." Janelle was explaining while Frank cut her. "No, no, I wouldn't want to put you in a difficult situation. Besides am a really important part of the team so no one can oust me without my knowledge. I just want everything to be perfect. So don't worry about me." Frank smiled. "Come on, you know I would do anything for you." Janelle smiled. "I know, it's just... Don't worry about it. My boss is just keeping everyone on their toes. He wants the presentation to be perfect." Frank said."I know you'll do great. And thank you for making time to have lunch with me, even though you were busy. Am
Theodore left that evening after making sure that Karina was fine. He wondered where his father was and why he didn't call him about having dinner.It has been a routine ever since Charles decided to reveal himself to Theodore but for the first time he didn't call or text about anything. Which wasn't like him. Theodore arrived at Charles Villa. "Where's my dad?" Theodore asked the Butler. "Oh, he isn't home yet." Butler Fern replied."But where is he?" Theodore asked. "I'm not so sure Sir." Fern replied. Theodore dialed Charles' number and after a few rings he answered the call."Son what is it?" Charles asked. "Where are you?" Theodore asked. "I'll be home soon, don't worry." Was all Charles said as he disconnected the call. He couldn't possibly tell Theodore where he was really. In fact only Oliver knew where he was and who he was going to meet. "I have to go." Charles said kissing a woman's lips. "Thank you for staying." She said. "Of course anything for you." Charles sa
Janelle didn't have a lot of friends or rather they were all superficial. They tried sticking close to her because of her relationship with Charles Wyatt. When she was younger she didn't have a lot of friends, and besides she moved away and so the only people that might have been true friends lived many miles away.No one knew about Theodore's existence so, Janelle being treated like a daughter made them think she would take Charles place.Besides she was smart and Charles trained her.Janelle realizing people were sticking close to her because of her relationship with Charles decided to avoid most of her friends. All but the one guy she believes would be there for her, Frank. Unlike everyone else Frank was her friend way before she knew Charles and he was one of the nicest persons she knew so when he asked her to be his girlfriend she didn't think twice before saying yes. She arrived at his home and saw his car was there. Which means he didn't go out. She walked into his house
~ Six Years Later ~ The estate was alive with the hum of conversation, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. Golden lights twinkled against the dark sky, and the melodic strains of a live orchestra filled the air. Theodore stood at the entrance, greeting guests with Janelle by his side, her smile as radiant as the diamond necklace she wore."Theodore, my man!" Jasper exclaimed, clasping his best friend’s shoulder. "Look at you. Hosting a party like this it’s like something out of a movie." Jasper said.Theodore chuckled. "It’s been a long time coming. But tonight isn't just about me. It’s about all of us." Theodore said. "You’ve earned it, Theo." Ivan added, shaking his hand firmly. "Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise." "Says the guy who eloped with his girlfriend. Got married to her and came back with their first child." Jasper glared. "Well what can I say." Ivan said. From the corner of his eye, Theodore spotted Nathalie and Miles walking in, hand in hand. Nathalie gave a
Leo grew up in a household that was warm and loving, until his father walked out. His mother, a kind but fragile woman, struggled to make ends meet. They faced hardships together, scraping by day by day. Despite their struggles, Leo’s mother always encouraged him to be kind, to work hard, and to never give up on the good in people.But life was cruel. His mother passed away when he was barely out of his teens, leaving him orphaned and lost. Those dark times forged Leo into a man of grit and determination. He vowed to never be the kind of person who abandoned those he loved.When the Wyatts entered his life, they gave him a purpose. Charles Wyatt saw potential in the young man and offered him a chance to rebuild his life. Leo trained hard, proving his loyalty time and again, becoming one of the most trusted members of the Wyatt family. For Leo, the Wyatts weren't just employers; they were his family.Years later, Leo met Becky. She was strong, independent, and doing her best to provide
A year after Theodore and Janelle’s joyous wedding and the arrival of their triplets, Karina found herself reflecting on her own life. Her fashion company, K.B., had skyrocketed in popularity, and her latest brand was garnering critical acclaim. She had poured her heart into her career, but as she watched her brother thrive as a husband and father, a small longing began to grow in her heart.One evening, after a long day at work, Derrick surprised her with a quiet dinner at their favorite restaurant."You’ve been working so hard." Derrick said, pouring her a glass of wine. "I admire that about you, Karina. But don’t you think it’s time we talked about... us?" Derrick asked. Karina paused, looking up at him. "What do you mean?" Derrick smiled, taking her hand. "I love you, Karina. I’ve loved you since the day we met. I want us to start our own chapter. Settle down. Build something together." Derrick said. "Of course, I don't want to rush you I need you to think about it." Derrick
Leo found himself visiting Becky and Belle more frequently. While his duties as Theodore’s bodyguard remained a top priority, he carved out time to nurture this new connection. Becky was hesitant at first, unsure of how deeply she wanted Leo involved in her and Belle’s lives, but Leo’s genuine care and persistence began to break down her reservations.One sunny afternoon, Leo invited Becky and Belle to a nearby park. It was a rare day off for him, and he wanted to spend it with them.Belle was ecstatic, running ahead to the playground while Leo and Becky strolled behind her."She’s got so much energy." Leo remarked with a smile, watching Belle climb onto the swings."She always does." Becky replied, laughing. Then, more seriously, she added."You don’t have to do this, you know. Spending time with us. We’re fine on our own. We're not really your family you know." Leo stopped walking and turned to face her."I’m not doing this because I have to, Becky. I’m doing it because I want to.
Theodore Wyatt stood at the altar, his hands clasped tightly in front of him, the faintest sheen of nervous energy radiating from his otherwise calm demeanor. Today was the day he would marry Janelle, the woman who had transformed his life in ways he never imagined. Around him, the grand but understated chapel glowed with soft sunlight streaming through stained-glass windows, illuminating the tasteful floral arrangements of white lilies and blush roses.He glanced briefly at the first row, where their three children and their nanny sat. A son and two daughters. Fatherhood had come unexpectedly, but he wouldn't trade it for anything. It wasn't just that he loved Janelle with all his heart; it was the family they’d built together that gave his life its deepest meaning."You ready for this, Theo?" Jasper whispered from his side, smirking as he adjusted his tie. As Theodore’s best man, Jasper had spent the morning both calming Theodore’s nerves and cracking jokes at his expense."More tha
Meanwhile, The night was alive with soft music, sparkling lights, and laughter as Janelle celebrated her bachelorette party. Unlike Theodore’s slightly chaotic bachelor bash, Janelle’s evening was elegant and charming just like her. Held in a private room at a chic rooftop restaurant, the gathering was intimate, attended by her closest friends and, of course, Karina, Theodore’s mischievous little sister, who had taken it upon herself to ensure the night wasn't too serious."Oh my gosh, Janelle, this place is perfect." Chloe said, twirling her cocktail glass and admiring the skyline. "You really know how to keep it classy." "I didn't plan this!" Janelle laughed, motioning toward Karina. "This was all her doing. And her brother's." Karina beamed, raising her glass of sparkling water. "What can I say? I have a gift for aesthetics." She turned to Mary with a wink. "And a gift for causing just the right amount of trouble.""Uh-oh." Mary said, laughing. "What did you do?" She asked.
The private lounge buzzed with energy as Theodore Wyatt and his closest friends celebrated his bachelor party. The room, a sophisticated mix of dark leather and ambient lighting, was alive with laughter, banter, and just the right amount of mischief. Jasper and Kyle Theodore’s self-proclaimed “partners in crime” had commandeered the night’s agenda, ensuring there wouldn't ’t be a dull moment. Meanwhile, Ivan and Derrick played the role of slightly more responsible spectators, though they were just as invested in making the night memorable."Alright, Theo." Jasper said, sprawling in his chair and twirling a half-empty glass of whiskey. His grin was pure mischief. "This is it, man. Your last night of freedom. Any regrets?" Theodore raised an eyebrow, smirking as he sipped his drink. "Regrets? You sound like I’m walking into a life sentence." Kyle leaned forward, pointing dramatically at Theodore. "Because you are. No more late nights out with the boys, no more spontaneous road trip
Theodore could barely contain his excitement as the days passed. He and Janelle were on the brink of welcoming their first child or so they thought. What Janelle didn't ’t know was that Theodore was meticulously planning their wedding behind the scenes. He wanted the event to be perfect, yet stress-free for Janelle, knowing how much her health and the baby's safety meant to her."You’re glowing." Theodore whispered one evening, wrapping an arm around her as they sat on the couch.Janelle smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. "I’m just happy. Everything feels so perfect right now. We've prepared the everything to welcome our baby." Janelle said. Theodore kissed her forehead, hiding his grin. If only she knew what he had in store."But of course, we need to make our baby happy. And I want us to be happy as well." On a crisp autumn morning, Janelle went into labor earlier than expected. Theodore was by her side throughout, holding her hand and reassuring her as the hours passed.F
Leo stood before Theodore in the study, his usual stoic demeanor slightly softened. "Sir, I’d like to request a day off." he said, his voice calm but carrying a note of urgency.Theodore arched a brow, intrigued. Leo rarely asked for time off unless it was absolutely necessary. "A day off? That’s not like you, Leo. What’s the occasion?" Theodore asked casually. Leo hesitated, then replied. "I want to visit my family. It’s been a while, and I need to check in on them." Theodore studied him for a moment. Something about Leo’s tone felt off, but Theodore decided not to push. "Alright, you’ve earned it. Take the day.""Thank you, sir." Leo said, bowing slightly before turning to leave.As soon as Leo exited, Theodore leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. Leo wasn't the type to lie outright, but there was something peculiar about his request. Theodore picked up his phone and made a quick call to one of his trusted men."Follow him." Theodore instructed. "I want to know where he
